If you want to write something, then write it. Asking a group of strangers if we want you to write something when we know absolutely nothing about you (your intro lacked a wee bit of detail) is sort of weird.

I have written and erased three posts now and I think I need to re-evaluate one of my new year resolutions due to the fact that I will never get through the second day of the year without braking it at this rate.

Poor NE Survival can't help it if he does not realize he has stumbled into a 10 year old forum composed of 40, 50, 60 and 70-something old men who have been running the woods eating raw meat and tree bark since they were 5 years old!

If you got something tell it, but remember, we all grew up before participation trophys were invented.

Does anyone have any interest in me doing a article of Survival Fishing? I have good deal of knowledge in the topic...

While I'm known for not playing well with others, I'd find it interesting if you did a write up/ review of survival fishing while utilizing the equipment from any of the prepackaged survival tins. I believe that most here have already built thier own item specific Homemade fishing kits, but those don't give US a good indication of what the prepackaged tins offer. Perhaps a little hands on with the prepackaged tin equipment would increase not only our data base, but your's as well. I carry the Military Scout Survival Tin, which has the Standard Survival fishing kit included. But there is also the Basic Emergency Fishing Kit. I'll link it up:

I understand that Florida survival fishing is a bit unique: using the cork from an about to be emptied wine bottle as a bobber, the tab from drained beer cans as a hook, reusing the tangled mess of washed ashore fishing line, and breaking off a stalk of bamboo for a pole seems to be a norm. Now all you need is one of thousands of varieties of bugs to use as bait. Only trouble with this Florida Primitive survival fishing is authorization from "She who must be obeyed". Of course if your Gator fishing, just cut your toe a little and dangle it in fresh water. Don't use your fingers, you are going to need them when you get a nibble. LOL.
